Hi - Got one of these just recently- Do you use premium fuel?

[@carspiv]

I work for Lexus. I used to manage the loaner fleet, but now I drive and manage a group of drivers who pick up guest vehicles for service and return them. I get to drive all models and years of vehicles. One guest who had an ‘06 RX400h (hybrid) had 270k miles on the vehicle. I arrived with a 2014 RX450h (this was a few years ago; loaner vehicles are seldom more than 1 model year old) and the guest had the opportunity to drive the newer vehicle while hers was being serviced. When the service on her vehicle was finished I returned her car to her. When I arrived, I asked what she thought of the newer version. “It’s really nice. I’d love to get one but THIS ONE (her 400h) JUST WON’T DIE!’ And so it goes. If you take decent care of these vehicles, you will, as I tell many of our guests, have the car for as long as YOU want it.

No wonder it remains one of the most desirable used SUV out there to this date... great daily driver overall.. highly reliable.. strong and composed engine.. fit and finish of the materials inside and out are excellent.. these cars go well over 200k with regular preventive maintenance such as oil change.. if you see one in a great price around $8k - $12k with just a ticked over 100k miles these days - GET IT!..

agreed. The engine sound on the 3.5 is very niice. Definitely understated (by others). Additionally, because it's 1,000lbs lighter than a Porsche Cayenne, a 2007-09 RX will completely smoke an early base Cayenne (with the 3.2 liter). And quite possibly take the 2008/2009 3.6 liter

Hey been doing reviews of older SUV with 4WD or AWD for my daughter and have test driven the 2007, 2008, and 2009 Lexus RX 350, after I did that, no other SUV in that age range and price could even come close! Acura RDX and MDX nice but too boxy, and definitely a level below the Lexus RX 350! I'm looking for reliability and this model is # 1 in so many reviews! So it's #1 in reliability but it also provides a nice quiet ride and it's luxurious. It's a joy to drive! Thanks for the excellent review. BTW the engine on these RX 350's is still used by Toyota on several of their top tier cars! I'll let you look that up. We have a Toyota Sienna, hint, and it uses the same engine! Our Toyota Sienna has 333,000 miles on it with the original transmission and engine!

i just bought an '08 rx350 back in march. it only had 110k on the odometer, and all local dealer maintenance records! everything was recorded. it's also black, with brown interior (which i don't care for, but look at the total package), and aside from a few scratches, is in really good shape! i've been driving lincoln town cars since '05, and the first one (an '02) was awesome! best car i ever had! the second one (05 - w/48k on it), not so much. i bought that about 3 years ago having worn out my first one. i'm a salesguy that destroys cars! that the first one lasted so long was pretty impressive! one year a put 40k miles on a car! i could see the kwality direction ford was going, so i opted to shop for a used lexus. so far this thing has been great! as a salesguy, i've rented a metric ton of cars. i see all this radar, backup screen bullshit, and i'm like: this volvo is a great car that could go a long time, but when all this little stuff starts breaking, i'm screwed! what i like about the lexus is that all of it is simple. no electronic crap to break. all simple and reliable. you didn't mention that the mirrors helpfully aim down when you back up. that's new. it also has all wheel drive capability, and i live in the pacific northwest, so we sometimes get ice storms here. this certainly helps. i saw the one you drive is so equipped. i'm not going to go rock crawling with this, but that should be useful, although i've not had the opportunity to try it out. i also like to go to rural areas to do some plinking in dirt roads, and will have no problem taking it there for that purpose. i tend to let others pay the "new car tax" and then drive a slightly used car for 10+ years. i just wear them out. i also ride an ebike for local stuff. i'm 58, and this may well be my last car, since i don't drive as much as i used to.

Idk about that, if maintenance history has been documented and taken care of then yeah I'd agree they have a ton of life left but any negligence in maintaining the car and def going to cause yourself some problems. I have only owned lexus since buying my first one because of how incredibly solid the engineering is in every one of their cars. Even the ES300 built to last. It's a car you only want to repair/maintain with OEM lexus parts, which are comparable to part prices of most cars respectably but reason being is because the parts last for such a long time and also preserves the integrity Lexus's are well known for. If you havent owned a Lexus in your driving career make it your next ride and I almost guarantee it will be the only brand car you continue to buy from then on. Just do your homework and be patient through out the searching/buying process. Find one you know has been maintained and driven like an adult.

I was in heaven driving that car for four years! When my lease ended, I got into a 2010 Lexus RX350 and my sister-in-law went ahead and bought the 2007 RX with the agreed upon price that they set at the end of a leased vehicle. She drove it another 5 years and I'm still driving my 2010 RX ten years later. Fit and finish is really incredible! Other than wear and tear on the leather seats and foggy headlights, every control still works and my '10 RX still drives like new! Very impressed by Lexus vehicles!

I was in the market for a 2015-2016 RX but when the pandemic hit, I hit the pause button and decided to leave well enough alone.

We have 5 high mileage Ford F150s with the 3.5 EcoBoost V6 motor and they all run great despite long idling and being driven hard by various employees. They're averaging right around 215,000 kms and show no signs of giving up. All have original engines, turbos and transmissions. The key to their longevity is changing the oil more frequent than what the manual calls for (we change every 7,000kms) and coolant flushes every 50,000kms. Keeps the turbos cool and lubricated which would be the biggest concerns.

[@markmenzel2469]

Great commentary, I own one in Australia with 230,000 kms on it and wanted to mention the rear tyres are VERY fussy with balancing and you get noise and vibration if they are not right on so these need to be well balanced and kept aligned.

I have an 04 rx330. Another added upgrade to having the rx350 is a timing chain vs a timing belt. That's around a $800 maintenance item done every 100k miles or so. Either way the Lexus RX series has got to be one of the greatest crossover SUVs of all time.

I just watched this video & your reviews are 100% top-notch. However i have an RX350 & mine is AWD with premium options (reverse camera etc) with new sets of Michelin tires. Mine does not make that loud tire road noise like yours so it’s your particular vehicle that needs a new set of good tires or it has some minor faults. Overall the RX350 is reliable & not a problematic SUV. In short, it gets the job done totally 👍🏾

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey thanks so much my friend and yea I believe a wheel bearing might be going out soon on my test vehicle and yes also a different set of tires would have helped. Great cars for sure!

Hey man. I said it a long time ago and I'll say it again. Your presentation and evaluation is the best that I have seen. I am considering a 2007 es350 or a 2007 rx350 AWD. I live in the Seattle area so still debating if I need AWD. I greatly value your opinions. Keep up the good work.

[@jordanlee3479]

My wife’s 08 RX350 AWD has around 140K miles on her and it still runs/shifts like a dream. Besides water pump and front wheel bearings replacement, all it needs is oil change and transmission fluid drain/refill every 30k miles. I ask if she wants to trade up for a 2018-19 NX300 F sport and she declines. The RX will most likely goes to my son when he drives in 3 years and she will take my 17 ES350. Then I will be looking for 2020 model year LC500. BTW, my RX is running on Michelin Latitude Tours and they are one of the quietest tires out there.

I have one, Love it!!! Plenty of Power for the Freeway, 186,000 miles and no major problems

[@MugatuJag]

I always liked this by style RX 350, recommended it to my parents to pick up a used one, 10 K for 2008 with 95,000 miles, I know it’s gonna be super reliable for the long term however of course immediately the water pump went out Which is a known problem and common On any car, in 2008 it came with different wheels and a standard power liftgate, highly recommend this and the RX 330, I’ve read that the RX330 is actually a little more reliable but you do have a timing belt rather than this which has a timing chain which doesn’t need replacement.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea solid rides and good points about the RX 330 and RX 350

[@Oivey2000]

I'm on my 3rd RX. Had a 2003 RX300, traded it in on a 2010 RX350 only because I wanted more features & power, & traded that in for a 2017 RX350 for the tech upgrades and I'll probably keep this one for a long time. Comfortable, luxurious, lots of tech, super reliable and they hold their value very well. In fact, I just purchased a second "for fun" car, a 2006 Lexus SC430 convertible with 130K and it drives as if it were new. I'm a Lexus fan for life.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I've been looking everywhere for an SC to review haha congrats on all those amazing Lexuw products

[@Oivey2000]

@@MeynMotorGroup They are hard to find, but out there. If you do get your hands on one, try & find a 2005-2010 to review since Lexus upgraded the shock absorbers in 2005 and the ride is much more in keeping with the car's mission. It's not a sports car and doesn't drive like one. It's not a corner carving machine that will set your heart on fire. That's why it got some bad press way-back-when, but those reviewers didn't understand what this car was about. It's a powerful grand touring luxury convertible.

Oh yea press is on hot garbage and always has been that's why I started reviewing cars because honestly, I agree with none of these reviewers. And good to know about the shock absorber upgrade thanks again!

I’m financing a 2008 Rx 350 Lexus and I love it. Got it at 127,000 miles & it really does run smooth. The only thing I don’t like about it, is what he mentioned in the video about the rough tire noise when I drive it. But it’s funny because it still drives smooth. Also tire censor light is on and need to be fixed. Other than that the car is clean and was well taken care of by previous owner. Beautiful SUV I’m in love 🖤🖤🖤

I owned 08 Rx350 for 7 years.I bought this car with 50k miles on it. In 7 yrs of ownership only repair was rack n pinion(that was my fault on steering oil top up) otherwise just regular oil change..this is best car I have owned..I lost this car in an accident..nothing can match the quality of Lexus..currently I own 2016 TLX( bought that after watching your honest review of TLX). But I still feel RX 350 was much better car than my current TLX..anyone looking for buying SUV..can buy RX with less miles and it will age really well..

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea Lexus is a great ride for sure TLX is still a nice ride for what it is but newer cars won't really have the feel of an older vehicle but you also won't get the tech or safety of a new car if that is important

I will probably still buy toyota products, but I would say its "superior" to Audi, Benz etc.

[@Dirtyboxer1]

There are Audis and then there are Audis. If you stick with the lower end models that are built a bit simpler, then they last a long time. Where Audi gets into trouble is the same place BMW and Mercedes get into trouble: too much bleeding edge tech. Their higher-end cars are overly complicated with far too many expensive failure points. BMW in particular seems to have decided to build cars to lease, not own.

I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long in life to move into Lexus. Buy a used older one that has service records. Very little maintenance on the models with the timing chain. They seem to last forever and are a very smooth ride. They don’t ride like a Benz. However, they don’t break like one either. Thanks for posting Lexus videos. Great job!

[@manuelpasco2048]

Yes, mine is 234, 420 miles right now on RX300, 2000 model. No problem so far except for wear tear on other parts that you need to replace. I’m the only one who is fixing and touching this car. So far, so good and still using it.

[@JohnnyBartek]

I bought a 2007 Platinum Edition last year with 234k. Ive had front and rear suspension work done etc. at a cost of about $3,500. It runs great, 20-22 mpg consistently, all power features work, and it is comfortable to drive. I would recommend the 350 over the older models but they are less expensive to do front end work on. If you buy a 350, be sure the oil cooler line has been replaced by a metal one like mine has. The original rubber lines fail and you lose your oil and oil pressure very quickly resulting in possible catastrophic engine failure. Overall Im very pleased and would buy another one.

[@luckyme5122]

Couple of months ago I bought a 2005 Lexus RX 330 with 170,000 miles (Made in Japan). Not that it needed it but I went ahead and replace the timing belt, timing belt tensioner , waterpump, camshaft seals, spark plugs, valve cover gasket, and spark plug tube seals, replace transmission pan and gasket. Next, i performed a radiator flush and transmission flush. Again, not that it needs it but I’m going to replace both CV joint axles. After all said and done it should last at least until 300,000 miles with good maintenance and oil changes. I know Lexus has the Toyota V6 motors in them. Those things are bulletproof.
